The glue that holds the glass to the chassis around the edges. My screen is glued to the glass just fine.

I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-Pre-Cut...or-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-SV-SM-G900-/281354155299 That was useless tape garbage.

I heard LOCA UV curing glue works

I plan to try this next since I heard it works https://www.amazon.com/10ml-LOCA-GLUE-Sticky-Icky1000®-Professional/dp/B00GY4LL3G

It seems like low viscosity may not be what I need, I need to run a bead of something, like some kind of glue that hardens below 130F around the edge.
 
Don't worry everyone, I handled it. I used JB weld 5 minute clear epoxy, was messy but it cleaned up nice and looks like a brand new phone, holds the screen down. Getting it apart again could be a problem, I guess if the screen gets cracked I can just carefully pry the broken pieces out and scrape off the glue and epoxy the new screen in.
